mircea_popescu: shinohai when you realise that's what it does whether in the toilet or not, you will... shit bricks and pellets of fishfood.
mircea_popescu: significantly helped by the fact that carp is, in romanian, crap. literally. you can buy "icre de crap" ie crap roe.
mircea_popescu: (i have azn friend who likes trying to bother me. feigned surprise at how we here in the decadent west let the toilet water go to waste, when we could raise a koi in there. jsut think alf! millions of toilets! tons of carp!)
mircea_popescu: i guess somehow the obvious got unhappened in all languages because why would they wanna think of such things!
mircea_popescu: eyah, somehow teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn't quite prepared for a) his nonsense to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b) the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
mircea_popescu: phf` is there a ru equiv of the "ciorba de spalatoare" ro concept ? dishcloth borscht ?
mircea_popescu: yeah. basically it's large scale fat distillation. might as well sit atop a refinery tower.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's distingush "smell of food" as in ie mp cooks for three and "smell of kitchen", as in, restaurant. it's not the smell of any specific food just like the sewer is not the smell of any specific ass. yes some people like some asses, but that's as far as it goes.
mircea_popescu: if supermarkets offered the old, hand cranked washing machine, there'd be households with the handcranked washing machine. and blogs dedicated to how it's better. and so forth.
mircea_popescu: but since bad venting you needn't get anywhere specifically, they still have it.
mircea_popescu: if the eu hadn't made it illegal, people'd still drive 1950 cars around the eu. like you know, smog filled paris. what, his car did the smog ?
mircea_popescu: that's where the whole "upgrade or die" software nonsense comes from/
mircea_popescu: moreover, they get proper stoves because they can't get shitty stoves anywhere.
mircea_popescu: subtle flaws, because nobody has any books and the masters all went to boring island and are sitting there fishing all day or i dunno wtf.
mircea_popescu: yet another aspect of that endless "your own head is your first and only enemy".
mircea_popescu: it's the well meaning ignorance that conspires to fuck people's shit up.
mircea_popescu: this is my point, wrapped up : it's not even conspiraci , not in the general sense.
mircea_popescu: i asked him why he put it in though, he explained "to neutralize the bla bla bla".
mircea_popescu: i pointed out to him he's not supposed to do that, salt is terrible for your health. he explained it's hymalayan rock salt, has no fluoride, is all good for health.
mircea_popescu: he put salt in. chunks, not flakes or anything. i fished out half dozen pea sized rocks of salt.
mircea_popescu: lol. no see, he's not fucking braindamaged. he's just excited and means well.
mircea_popescu: 2. the new-age-y dood handling the wine was offewring wine icecreams. fabulous, really. all vegan, he informed us insistently -- coconut base. they really did taste good.
mircea_popescu: utterly noob mistake. i've owned restaurants enough to know you build the whole fucking kitchen around the vent, first you put that in then you places the stoves. how's she to know and how's she to guess ?
mircea_popescu: 1. the restaurant was unvented. if you went on the loft above of it, you could thouroughly smell it. so would your clothes if you spent enough there -- such as, time for a meal.
mircea_popescu: but i belittled and insulted the mousy brunette playing the ocd type, we had a lot of fun.
mircea_popescu: ok. now, wanna guess the subtle ways or shall i just say ?
mircea_popescu: girl does not speak english, did not steal the idea. she came up with it on her own. hired actual actresses for waitstaff, they throw fits and rant around, to the unspeakable confusion of (all other) patrons.
mircea_popescu: she has a kitchen, an art exhibition where a young painter who was not even untalented! was working on his (really, not bad) stuff, a wine whatever, everything.
mircea_popescu: she got a nice place on the cheap no doubt -- hey, what else is the point of being in real estate ? -- and spent a year furnishing it into a concept restaurant.
mircea_popescu: so, girl discovered this very promising place. in charge of it, this stunning beauty of an actress/real estate agent. you understand me ? this girl did understand you can't make it as an actress without money, but she didn't go into prostitution, or waitressing, like all others. she got herself real estate firm.
mircea_popescu: phf` not that little known, spent half hour trying to syncronize watches with uk resident engineers coupla weeks back
mircea_popescu: ahh, hanbot found a great fucking place. cabaret-restaurant.
mircea_popescu: nono you don't understand, network segments and engineers!
mircea_popescu: i suppose official usg-lese for "tmsr" is "non-nation-state actors" nao.
mircea_popescu: how about "bitch, if you could know truth if it hit you on the head you'd be in power". not fucking evident enough ? how the fuck are the powerless to obtain truth, from their father, the god of the stupid ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other unimportant matters, wtf is with the idler party and that "speak truth to power" meme ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gcc is no longer an interesting tool - llvm took over. currently being maintained as "coreboot".
mircea_popescu: splurge and spend the 15 to buy a ball gag. it's one of those items, like cased bullet, that can't really be replaced in the kitchen.
mircea_popescu: see alf, that's the problem with fuckgoats, that nsa doesn't have an email spam service. THIS GOES AGAINST PRINCIPLES!
mircea_popescu: don't tell me ivan a ivanov is not a real name either!
mircea_popescu: guy's name is fucking epic for the purpose, i confess.
mircea_popescu: kinda how the czars (back before the muscovy took over) kept painting selves in byzantine headgear. ENNOBLEMENT!!!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems entirely likely the item is onlyt there because in their experience ustards perceive its presence as "professional"-ing.
mircea_popescu: the entirety of us economy consists not of principals but of agents. why would anyone hire a full servcie broker to churn their holdings ? because they get paid on commission!
mircea_popescu: you're too focused on what's here evidently a minor add-on.
mircea_popescu: hey, the russki's are trying to be civilised. absent any signal from you as to what civilisation entails, they end up following the pantsuit ustards.
mircea_popescu: as you might imagine, "Sales & Business Development" not the most exciting line of work.
mircea_popescu: aite, ima buy some whatever the shits and not give them to you then!
mircea_popescu: thenh negotiation can begin : we leave off wiping the us ; they leave off the nda, it's a give and take process.
mircea_popescu: first rule of "business" : ignore all items not of interest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what's the problem ? point them to nsa fg page, explain the company is working on an uninterdictable nuclear missile to wipe the united states off the face of the earth.
mircea_popescu: nothing beats 1.5m from hips to floor wanting to see director. certainly not a letter.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to repurpose an ustardism, "in a world starved of whorish talent, it is hard to lose money hiring sophomores from moscow u."
mircea_popescu: phf` go to moscow, incorporate, hire a coupla hookers at the moscow uni, pref 2nd/3rd year, send one to baikal once you're done fucking them ?
